l wonder if the Canadian Lottery " demands" that their winners show their faces. If not, why not simply hold the cardboard cheque from their shoulders up? The $400 mil lottery winner from the Bay Area did that a couple of years ago & there was no backlash.

I read on some US lottery page that you have to hold and participate in a press conference.

Now, what does participate mean? Standing there or answering questions? When somebody asks "How does it feel to have won this?" is it enough if you say "Direct all questions to my lawyer?"
